The papers are full of the departure of
Brother Fulton from his charge in the city
Of Brooklyn, where he has made it rather
lively for the world, the flesh and the devil,
for the past ten years. Brother Fulton is
not man of peace, he is fighter from the
word go, and the arch enemy of man had
better keep his weather eye open when
Brother Fulton girds on his arTnor and his
sword. He has laid himself out an ex-
ceedingly heavy job, which is nothing less
than TO smite the Pope and his minions
hip and thigh The Catholics appear TO be
getting along very comfortably, and il does
rot appear that the'Pope has murdered
anybody lately. but Brother Fulton sees our
danger and he is going TO save us. If
Gospel work was all he wanted, he could
find two or three hundred years good solid
work in Brooklyn; and as he is more near
ly allied to the Protestants than to the sect
he proposes to save, it might not be bad
idea for his Reverence to remember that
charity begins at home. The Catholic
church has an army of trained evangelists
who understand the needs of their floeks

them, and turn his spiritual batteries on
some of the members OF his late flock, and
he will doubtless find that he has not much
religion to spare by the time he-gets through
with them. If we are to judge his future
work on the pagan Romanists by his past
success in the Protestant church, the har-
vest will not be great. lie came here from
